Abstract

We have developed 120-GHz-band wireless equipment that can transmit 10-Gbit/s data signal over a distance of more than 5 km. In order to increase the output power of the120-GHz-band wireless equipment, we used a millimeter-wave amplifier that integrates 0.08-μm-gate-length InGaAs/InP composite-channel high-electron-mobility transistors. The output power of the wireless equipment becomes 16 dBm. The wireless equipment can handle data rates of 1 Mbit/s to 11.1 Gbit/s and transmit 10-Gbit/s-class data signals with and without forward error correction (FEC). We conducted wireless data transmission experiments over a distance of 4.8 km and 5.8 km and succeeded in the error-free data transmission of 10-Gbit/s data with FEC.
